Window of Opportunity - A Stargate Rewatch Podcast

SG1 need to rescue Jack and the non-existent Lt. Tyler this week on The Fifth Man. Have we uncovered the reason that Lt. Tyler HAD to be played by Dion Johnstone? Just what is Simmons up to? Is he really trying to shut down the SGC? It would have been really interesting if everyone "remembered" a different face for Lt. Tyler. Also so many missed opportunities to play into the 5 of this episode.

Sam gets another alien boyfriend this week on Ascension. Daniel is also super quippy and we love it. Who took Teal'c shopping for Earth clothes? Where did they find his wardrobe? Why is wearing a cowboy hat? Do we care? No, cos it's amazing. Is Colonel Simmons retired? And we should probably be more creeped out by Orlin's actions, but he's just too adorable and earnest.

In Threshold, SG1 and Bra'tac do their best to get Teal'c out from under Apophis' brainwashing. Why was the Rite of M'al Sharran originally created? What was its intended purpose? We still need to know what sound effect was used to make the symbiote squawking noise. There's also lots of conflict for Dr. Fraiser in this as she tries to do what is best for Teal'c but that may not actually be what is best for Teal'c. Also, where is the young Bra'tac spin-off?

In Exodus, Sam does The Greatest Thing Ever - she blows up a sun. Why can't the Tok'ra and the SGC just talk to each other? They're supposed to be allies. Do you have a theory about how the Tok'ra know where the rings are buried in the sand on Vorash? Does the naquadah tingle make sense? Why won't Apophis just die??

Next week is our Season 4 Wrap-Up episode! Let us know if you have any questions or items you would like us to discuss.

We had some internet issues during recording this week. Apologies for the roughness of some bits of this episode.

In Double Jeopardy, SG1 team up with themselves(?) to take down Cronus. When did the SGC get touchscreen computers? Was that a thing back then? Are Robo!Jack and Robo!Sam a couple? And where did Robo!SG1's weapons come from? What other ways do you think Robo!SG1 should have evolved from when we last saw them in season 1?

Stargate reaches another SciFi trope as Sam gets taken over by a "computer" in Entity. There is also much discussion of memos actually on the show. They do get memos!! And what exactly is the entity? Is it one singular consciousness or many operating as one?

LISTEN TO THE COMMENTARY FOR THIS EPISODE! IT'S SO GOOD! THERE ARE LYRICS TO THE STARGATE THEME SONG!!

The namesake Prodigy, Jennifer Hailey, however, is not so great. She definitely has a giant chip on her shoulder. And we're not entirely sure she's learned her lesson at the end of this. There is also more conflict between the scientists and the military personnel to deal with.

There's a light over at the abandoned goa'uld palace…

This week on The Light, quarantine protocols would once again have proved extremely useful. The light effect really is quite mesmerizing, though. Is there a chance that Loran has become a master sushi chef in his time on this planet? Daniel does actually need his glasses!
